Glenn Beck chooses Fox News replacement?

Speaking to Napolitano on Fox News about the forthcoming end of his show, Beck said that Napolitano should take over the cable network's 5pm slot.

"[They should] make you the replacement for me at 5pm," Beck told Napolitano on Wednesday.

Beck also said that his departure from the show should not come as a surprise to viewers.

"I have been talking around this for almost a year. I kept saying, 'Hear me, hear me - prepare yourself for a time when I'm not gonna be around. You've gotta lead, you've gotta know what's true.' I tried to do it for those who had ears and eyes," Beck explained.

The host added: "When I took this job I didn't take it because it was going to be a career for me. Paul Revere did not get up on the horse and say, 'I'm going to do this for the rest of my life.' He didn't do it. He got off his horse at some point and fought in the revolution, and then he went back to silver-smithing."

The political pundit also offered a warning to his critics: "I am so tempted to say this to all those who say 'celebrate' - you are going to pray for the days of 5pm. Look out."
